• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • have a 5-foot 4 inches side yard setback but 6 feet is required. Originally the south side yard setback was at 3 feet 4 inches but they increased it by 2 feet by reducing the doors going into the rear addition. This allowed them to do additional grading on the side. Once they increased the side setback, they introduced a low retaining wall approx. 2 feet high. This will let them grade the side property so that no water will run into the neighbors’ property retain any runoff they have and release it slowly towards the driveway. They are trying to maintain the rear end of the property as it exists. It is heavily vegetated and are keeping the trees in that area. They are removing 4 trees due to the addition. The building has an existing basement and the uses will remain the same. The entrance will be on the south corner of the building and the existing workspace will remain the same. Mr. Crespo’s office will be towards the back of the building behind the retail/entry space and will create an ADA bathroom. The opening to the new addition will be in the same area. They will be adding windows to the side of the addition to let light in. On the front side of the property, since they reduced the size of the door going into the new addition from 8 feet to 6 feet, they added a canopy. Originally, they were going to have the van for deliveries back into the opening during inclement weather but since they reduced the size, they added a canopy for protection when loading up the van. They are keeping both entrances to the basement the same The design complies with all fire codes and will be ADA-compliant. There is a minor concrete wall that will be removed on the south side of the property outside that was put up to hold up the dry land. Now they are proposing to put a new retaining wall where it is that goes up the property line. There will be no signage on the side of the building at this time. There is no proposal to fence any of the subject property. They are keeping the window in the basement towards the north side and closing the other window towards the south side for the new addition. Their drainage proposal is to collect the rainwater, run it through the building, and connect it to the existing system that discharges out to the street. They are not proposing any storm retention at this time because on the property

ect the rainwater, run it through the building, and connect it to the existing system that discharges out to the street. They are not proposing any storm retention at this time because on the property its hard to do that. The neighbor to the south is low and storing water will not help. The best way for the project would be to collect it and then bring it out to the street. Due to a slope in the yard, they will have to remove soil where the grade slopes up. Even though there is no requirement for a soil, erosion, and sediment control permit, they agree to provide a soil, erosion, and sediment control plan documenting measures to protect this site. They are keeping the two existing lights in the driveway. No proposal for additional lights. The lights are sufficient enough for deliveries in the evening. The architect states there is adequate space to place the tree pits on the pavers on the sidewalk. The distance from the front of the building to the pavers is approx. 5 feet. The applicant will agree to clean and televise existing roof drainage laterals to be reused prior to construction. There is no need to construct above or below-grade improvements for utility services. 4
